Learn The Magic Of Self-Talk

We assume and interpret that this is what must have been said and, believing so, we get on with our talk. One of the most powerful influence on our attitude is not what happens to us, but how we respond to, that determines our personality. It is by knowing the secret of controlling our “inner dialogue” or our “self-talk” or what we say to ourselves, we can learn to change our internal conversation into something motivational, healthful, pleasurable, and inspiring so that it will encourage us to accomplish our goals in life.

When asked, people often say that their inner lives contain a lot of words. Psychologists use the use the term “inner speech” for this phenomenon, in which people talk to themselves silently in their head. It has a cousin, “private speech,” in which people talk to themselves audibly. If you say words to yourself, such as “remember to get some coffee” or “Stick to the plan,” without making a sound, then you are using inner speech.
